This marks my 43rd post of the year, which is one more than the 42 I had in 2020. My next goal is to surpass the 64 posts I had in 2014. My best ever was 169 in 2011. In those days, though, it was more like a job. Now, writing has become...
Now that Masters of the Universe (2026) is on Amazon Prime, I've had the chance to watch it again. The second viewing has been incredibly enjoyable and I really do like the movie quite a bit. It's so much fun and the costume designs are...

Adam de Souza — Blind Alley (webcomic backlog) May 27 Readable online. This comic rules! In proper old internet style, I learned about it because K.C. Green did a guest strip for it and posted it on his tumblr. There seems to be a...
Nau maiYesterday we played in the city of Tucson, Arizona. This was to be the hottest day of the tour to date. Finally we would get to feel the temperature that TV weather presenters swoon over, the vaunted century of Fahrenheits sending...
As I stated in the description of my Eberron Artificer mod for Baldur's Gate 3, I was aiming to stay within the tabletop rule margins from Eberron: Forge of the Artificer to the best that I could within BG3's framework, which is both...
